@HerasBigFatUglyCow This has given me all the fuzzy feelings! I'm honestly blown away that people are reacting as kindly to it as they are. Starting the story was a bit of an exercise in nostalgia for me, too. I used to write similar stories with a friend as a teenager and kinda wondered if I could still do it. The Anna story is actually built on the bones of one of those teenage stories, written when I was about 15 or 16? In that story, the protagonist goes away to Scotland and then the story picks up again a year or two later, when she moved back to England. But I never explored that bit where she was just existing in Scotland, dealing with all her emotions about having left her whole life behind. I wanted to do that part justice in this story and really explore her journey growing up in these times.
I've already gone way beyond what I expected to do with Anna and keep finding that there's still story to be told! Who knew there was so much there? This has been a joyful experiment for me, too, and I'm so grateful to all who are patient enough to wait for me to slowly build this story piece by piece, as I do care about making it good. I'm not consistent about posting but I am determined to finish, no matter how long it takes. Thanks for all your support and excitement about the story! It really keeps me going.
Happy to share that I just posted Chapter 63, too, so please enjoy! There's only one more chapter left in Part 2 and then we'll move on to London.
